Catherine is a painter specialising in
light-filled watercolours. She grew up in
rural Wiltshire but lived in SE Asia for
eleven years where she developed her
saturated colour palette. Her innovative
'gravity painting' techniques use rigid
artboard to capture watermarks.
Semi-abstract paint passages suggest
subtle rays of sunlight and disappearing
mists set against sharper winter trees
and fields (explained in her book
'Capturing light - creating radiant
landscapes in watercolour' - Search
Press 2023). She sketches in pen and
wash 'en plain air' but equally enjoys
painting imaginary landscapes in thick
tubed paint in studio. She is an
experienced tutor and member of the
Society of Women Artists.
